The Taqaddam Life Skills App is packed with 30 interactive missions, as well as information, videos, guidance and tools for personal development.

Your profile helps you to keep track of your progress and record your thoughts as you journey through the missions which are split across 4 themes:

- My Life: where you will gain greater self-awareness and explore values, confidence and purpose.
- My Life Skills: where you will discover and grow your life skills, including creativity, critical thinking and collaboration.
- Make it Happen is where you put your life skills into action, for example in public speaking and digital storytelling.
- Moving Forward supports you with the confidence and tools to continue to learn and grow into the future.

Your life skills play a critical role in how you learn, connect with others and adapt to make the most out of life’s opportunities. Through Taqaddam you will get to know them and start to grow them!

This free app has been developed by the British Council and HSBC Bank Middle East Limited through their life skills programme – Taqaddam – and is designed to help young people develop essential skills for life, work and society.

This new app has been designed to enhance the experience for the Taqaddam programme participants, as well as any young person across the world, looking to upskill for their future.
